There's a haunting story in the Burger Chef case, one that you've likely heard before.
A guy named David Cathcart rolled up to a bar in Greenwood, Indiana on November 18, 1978, the night after the employees vanished, before anyone knew the kids were dead. He shot off his mouth about the disappearances of the four Burger Chef employees, telling his fellow patrons that they'd be released unharmed. Later, after being interrogated by police, he revealed that he was part of a robbery gang that had been casing the Speedway Burger Chef.
In the years since, the robbery gang theory has become one of the most prominent theories in the entire case. And it's true that Timothy Piccione, Gregg Steinke, and John Defibaugh perpetrated a number of armed robberies around Indianapolis in the seventies. A few even targeted Burger Chef restaurants.
But the Murder Sheet has uncovered new court documents that raise questions about the story involving Cathcart. In this episode, we'll being laying out the robbery gang theory, but also pointing out where we feel it falls short.
